We all gathered around the table to stretch the dough... and yes, it's exactly as you describe! And boy, was it good! Potica is mostly filled with nuts and cinnamon...here's what one site says about it:<BR/><BR/><I>An old world pastry, Potica is made from a dough rolled so thin and wide that a newspaper can be read through it. Then layered with walnuts, butter, cream and vanilla, is rolled into a spiral and baked to a crisp amber brown. Serve it with any meal or for a snack. Potica is delicious plain, by itself, heated or unheated. But you can enjoy it many different ways.</I><BR/><BR/>Good stuff, all of it. And can I get on your mailing list for samples the next time you make strudel? :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02649567424535224622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18500594.post-68796022616073082442007-10-29T19:05:00.000-04:002007-10-29T19:05:00.000-04:00Mouse: I might just bring you some.
